Mornings with Grace















“Mornings with Grace” is actually the snapshot of the discussions and moments I have shared with my friend Grace. I usually ride with her to the office in the mornings and I can tell you, there has never been a dull moment with her. I have been inspired and built up. We’ve had amazing and awe-inspiring discussions about GOD, life, family, career, Kids, meals etc. Such that when the time comes to part ways to our respective departments we do so reluctantly. Over the next few days, I will be sharing a wide range of things I have been privileged to learn during my mornings with her. It has been laid on my mind to do this and I am certain, this will be helpful.

Day 1 – Reuniting with Grace

Ebun was on her way to see me; as she had promised to bring some longrich products so my cousin and I could patronize her. But she missed her way, so I had to stand in front of the house so we could locate ourselves. Ebun was heavy and I was not ready to answer any questions from her hubby, so I stood outside happily as I kept giving her directions via the phone.

As I stood, I noticed a car approaching from the left but the car didn't look familiar, so I looked away. But as it got to where I stood, it stopped. I looked and saw the lady in the car was all smiles; I took a closer look and that was when I saw it was Grace. The last time we saw ourselves was over 8 years ago, back at Zaria. We talked a bit and she drove on ‘cos she had to be in Church. That was how we met again.... Well, I thought it would just be a neighbourhood connection but I was so wrong. During the week, I bumped into Grace at work...yeah, work. We stood staring at each other with a surprised look on our faces. Apparently, we had been in the same office for months but never met until then. All these seemed like coincidences but even till date, the reason for our re-connection keeps unveiling.

My Pastor says, “There are no coincidences in GOD”. GOD orchestrates all that happens in our lives. You are where you are today because GOD placed you there and the people you meet daily are all part of His divine plan. You will look back one day, and be grateful for the role the people you have met played in your life.

It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time. Ecc.9:11 (NLT).

I found Ebun by the way...and today she has a bouncing baby...

Yspot!

Some days ago, I was singing the song "I know my redeemer lives" by Nicole Mullen. As I sang the first line of the song; "who taught the sun where to stand in the morning..." the words hit me and it felt like I was hearing the words of the line for the first time. Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?                                                                                       Pause and think for some minutes… 💭 Did GOD sit the sun down after creating it to explain what is was made to do or that it was expected to rise in the east and set in the west?  Was there a tutor assigned th e responsibility of showing the sun how to rise, how to shine, or to tell the sun the perfect time to set?  or Did the sun require daily reminders to rise in the morning and give warmth and light to the world?  I doubt that..😶 So, if no one taught the sun where to stand in the morning, then how did the sun know where to stand?  Every appliance made or created is wir

We all watched as JDee tried to crawl on his knees some days back. Prior to this, he had been doing a great job crawling on his stomach, but the guy just can't wait to walk... Lol. So he keeps pushing himself.  Lessons: *You will always remain at the same spot doing the same things until you push yourself forward.  *Don't stop at the point or place where others think you should and neither should you stop because of factors like your age or your sex, or the fact that no one has ever done it before. You can be the first to break and set a new record. *Keep pushing yourself until you are all you can be.  *Don't let the barriers and mindsets stop you.  Eventually JDee did it... He moved one knee and we all went screaming.  Why did we scream?  *We saw the progress he had made even though, some would consider it so little, but try asking a mum who has been praying for her child to walk after so many years, she would consider that a great a
